Abstract
The relative calm and cordial relations between the parties involved in the Joint Declaration following the signing of that document were shattered in June 1989, with the brutal crushing of the Tiananmen demonstrators by the People’s Liberation Army. This created great nervousness in Hong Kong about how serious China was in the promises made in the Joint Declaration and Basic Law.
